Video games have come so far since Pong that a game extending its formula comes with built-in novelty value, even 37 years after its release. Novelty alone can sell titles, but clever gameplay resonates with greater tone. Aksys has proved that a creative team can run miles with the simplest of concepts, offering a glimmer of hope to gamers worn down by an army of modern shooters and their love for earth-toned color pallets. Bit.Trip Beat is not a revolution, but an evolution - a reminder of what more gaming can provide outside of mere corridors and exploding barrels.
Alex S. from Link-Cable writes: "Some of the best games of recent memory have taken inspiration from the past to craft something that is both ‘new’ and ‘old’ at the same time."
